Date: December 3rd, 2017 8:47 PM Author: zombie-like passionate menage queen of the night Calishitlawguru is an anomaly clearly. no way i can quit my job and find a way, after a full year to ramp up, to make 250k+. THERE ARE TONS OF PI ATTYS - each fighting for the same clients. Other fields are just as bad.

|
Date: December 4th, 2017 1:20 AM Author: lascivious generalized bond candlestick maker I don't really think I'm an anomaly because of some inherent trait I have that other's don't. I just figured out the best system for doing what I do. Anyone can do it who has the balls to just make the plunge and the patience to give it 100% for a year. The reason a lot of PI attorneys fail is because their systems for running cases and bringing in business are terrible.
For example, I subbed out an attorney on a 10 million dollar case that I am doing with Nick Rowley. The client fired the old attorney because she didn't return the client's phone calls. That will be my biggest fee ever when it settles, likely seven figures. All because the shitty prior lawyer didn't know how to run her business.
Edit: If you dropped me in another city in California where I knew no one (for example San Diego), I could get back to where I am in a few years doing the same shit I'm doing now. |

Date: December 4th, 2017 1:35 AM Author: lascivious generalized bond candlestick maker California has tens of millions of people/cars, lots of car accidents, favorable jury verdicts (even though everyone knows these cases are bullshit), doctors that treat on a lien with insane bills, and California isn't a bullshit No Fault state like Florida or NYC.

|
Date: December 4th, 2017 1:43 AM Author: lascivious generalized bond candlestick maker Honestly, 60-80. Anything less and you aren't giving it your all. But a lot of that time is really client development and just hanging out with different people. It also get's better as your firm ramps up and you get help. I have two full time paralegals now and about 300 active files. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3817065&forum_id=2#34833734) |

Date: December 4th, 2017 1:48 AM Author: zombie-like passionate menage queen of the night can you give some high level pointers re client development for a new PI solo with no contacts?
and thanks, btw. |

Date: December 4th, 2017 1:58 AM Author: lascivious generalized bond candlestick maker Here is a quick cliff notes version of stuff I have already posted.
1. Buy 2000 business cards from Vista Print. Every time you meet a new person (no matter the situation), make sure you bring up the fact you are an attorney that does PI. A good way to do this is ask them what they do. They will in turn, ask you too. Give them a good story (or just make one up) of a memorable PI case. Hand them a business card. This is where I get the majority of my business. This is a numbers game. I probably have 10,000 cards floating out in LA right now. Even if you get a 5% rate of return you get tons of business. It's just a numbers game (just like hitting on girls).
2. Networking with attorneys is usually a waste of time. You are better off networking with normal people who will actually give you their cases. Some great places are bars, gyms, uber drivers, hair salons, waiters, your personal doctors (and their staff), clubs, and pretty much anywhere where you meet a high volume of people in a short period of time. I mentored someone who is going to make 400-500K this year and most of his business was from girls he hit on and got shot down by at clubs. He always got them a business card though. That was 90% of his business development (and he is a shitty attorney).
3. Become a subject matter expert and give talks at sororities/frats. I gave about 20 talks at UCLA over 2 years and handed out my cards to about 1,000 students during those talks.
4. Network with tow truck drivers, body shops, and insurance agents. I'm sure you can figure out what needs to be done on this one.
5. Don't waste money on Yoddle, AVVO, SEO consulting, Google PPC or any other online marketing that charges. Unless you are going to spend 50K+ per month, there are lots of other people out there who will outspend you and you will not make money. |

Date: December 4th, 2017 2:08 AM Author: zombie-like passionate menage queen of the night really valuable. do you recommend any resources in particular to become a subject matter expert? my current practice is not anything like PI. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3817065&forum_id=2#34833869) |
|
Date: December 4th, 2017 2:10 AM Author: lascivious generalized bond candlestick maker What state are you in? PI is easy (unless you are in a no fault state, then it fucking sucks). I can give you a basic run down in 30-45 minutes over the phone. I kind of learned it by just taking on cases and figuring it out, so I couldn't recommend any particular resource.

Date: December 4th, 2017 3:46 PM Author: emerald bearded box office partner I know people who did this.

They did their speech, answered questions, and left 100 biz cards at the frat. They got business out of it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3817065&forum_id=2#34837824) |

Date: December 3rd, 2017 8:50 PM Author: Pearly boyish death wish hall If anyone here thinks they can be him easily, they are wrong. His personality is the opposite of an average poaster.
1. CSLG is literally the smartest guy in his field. He is smarter (via academic credentials) and harder working than 99.99% of PI attorneys.
2. He is very charismatic and sociable, unlike almost everyone here. He instills confidence in his clients.
3. He is incredibly organized. |

Date: December 4th, 2017 1:34 AM Author: lascivious generalized bond candlestick maker I summered at a big firm. I ended up leaving at 4pm every day and I missed pretty much all the summer associate events. It was depressing being there and I realized the first week that 160K a year was nothing for how much big law ruins your life. So I just called it in and collected my 30K over the summer. I think I did one actual assignment the entire 10 weeks. I never worked at a firm that did PI. My first job out of law school wasn't even a law job.
I've done 13 trials. |

Date: December 4th, 2017 1:35 AM Author: curious garrison quadroon Do a thread on what a trial is like, for non trialmos.
Anything like "A few good men?" |
|
Date: December 4th, 2017 1:37 AM Author: lascivious generalized bond candlestick maker My next trial is supposed to start Feb 9. Case is against Allstate. Client was in a low speed rear end accident. About $1,000 in PD. Client has a shoulder tear that needs surgery. They claim there is no causation. Top offer is 20K. Our last demand was 50K. Neither side is moving. You are welcome to come if you want.
Trial is fun, but not that exciting. |
